Wow, you ARE a dlo traf (read backwards)...me too. But ain't it amazing that
we can still get into a Spridget with the top up!! I remember ALL of these
except Spoolies. Whatsa Spoolie?? Is that something we sons of the South
weren't exposed to?? We didn't get a TV until the late 50's. We were
contented with Lone Ranger, Sky King, and the like on the radio. Bought my
first (and only) Healey new in May '63 and I still have it. That opened my
eyes to the rest of the world. The Sprite came a little later. I still keep
my slide rule handy in case of calculator failure.

I think this went throught the list a while ago, but it looks like it may
just be a variation on a theme. I only didn't recognize two...Licorice
records and Party Lines.
How many of these do you remember? (No right or wrong answers, just
> a measure of how old you are and what you remember).
